On Wednesday the SE Round Table Blog noticed a thread on WebMasterWorld regarding a potential Google Update. Matt Cutts did comment saying he was sure that an update was not happening.

I’ve noticed my blog hit with a few changes in Google over this last week. I say hit because the changes were not positive. Here are my symptoms:

- Pages Indexed down on a few data centers from well over a hundred to 7-9. These data centers also reported that my home page was not indexed.

- Organic Search Referrals down considerably. They usually account for 50% of my traffic and have lately been accounting for less than 20%

- My blog is not indexed in the Google Blog Search anymore (and I have tried re-submitting)

Has anyone else noticed considerable changes for their website in Google?

Jody Nimetz over at SEO Space has noticed some changes to Google’s search results page this morning. Specifically a “Try your Search on” option which allows a user to re launch their query on a variety of different sites including: Yahoo, Ask, AllTheWeb, MSN, Lycos, Technorati, Feedster, Wikipedia, Bloglines, Altavista, A9.

To me this is indicating Google’s confidence in how accurate and useful their results are compared to their competitors. It should be interesting to see how this plays out for them.
